There's a huge confusion in the Optical industry, and we are here to explain what's going on. We get several questions from our customers about what are the differences between OS1 and OS2. 

When it comes to the maintenance of your communications system, cleaning your fiber patch cables constitutes an essential task in order to guarantee the proper functioning of your equipment.

One of the most common concerns amongst the installation of fiber cables is related to the possibility of bending a fiber cable or not. Worrying about this issue comes off rather naturally: if one does bend a fiber cable, let’s say around a corner, would that harm the cable? Or even more importantly, would it affect the quality of the transmission?

Nowadays, the demand for high connection speeds is increasing at an intimidating pace. People need to send -and receive- more data than ever, and the technology that’s available to them often seems to just not being able to keep up.

Occasionally, there will be instances in which you need to cross over fiber optics cables. The reasons may vary, but at the end of the day, the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) will need to be crossed in order to make a proper connection.

Fiber Patch Cable Color Code is a really important part of our telecom industry, why you may ask? - Because it could help us identify individual fibers, fiber patch cables and fiber connectors.

Do you have questions about the fibre optics outdoor cabling? We have Q/A to assist you determining which type of cable may suit your needs.

The micrometer (μm) also commonly known as a micron, is an SI derived unit of length equaling 1×10⁻⁶ of a metre, that is, one millionth of a meter.

Given the growing demand for data on both fixed and mobile networks and the big size of the USA market, there is continuous pressure for operators to invest in fiber networks and to push connectivity closer to consumers.

The first revision of the Telecommunications Industry Association’s (TIA) cabling standard for health care facilities will be published soon.
